XMLhttpRequest > PHP > XMLhttpRequest

Hi guys,
I have another question. XMLhttpRequests haunt me. Everything is now in the database but I need this data to update my page on firt page load or reload. The XHR is triggered in JavaScript file which triggers PHP-Script. PHP-Script access MySQL database. But how do I get the fetched records back into my JavaScript for page update. I can not figure it out.
First my synchronous XMLhttpRequest:
function retrieveRowsDB()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","retrieveRowData.php", false);
xmlhttp.send(null);
return xmlhttp.responseText;
}
Then my PHP-Script:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","*************");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("sadb", $con);
$data="SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY rowdata ASC";
if (!mysql_query($data,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
else
{
$dbrecords = mysql_query($data,$con);
}
$rowdata = mysql_fetch_array($dbrecords);
return $rowdata;
mysql_close($con);
?>
What am I missing here? Anyone got a clue?
